Downing Plumbing

The came and replaced my water heater, 40 gallon State for $1898.00 I have requested twice that they break down the invoice showing the cost of the heater and the labor separately . they have refused after promising to do so. Please be very wary of this company and be sure to get competitive quotes. I unfortunately did not have the luxury to do so.

called Downing plumbing to get my sprinkler system water main pipes fixed since it was leaking. I was at work at the time they came out so my wife facetimed me with him and i told him it was coming out of the top of the unit. He insisted it was coming out from a different area and replaced three inches of pipe for nearly 400.00!! When I got home that night, it was still leaking from where i told him originally and I was out 400! Beware of these guys and read their horrile reviews. Apparently im not the only one who got scammed!

We have used this company several times within the last three years and paid quite a bit for their services. We always got good service and problems were resolved. However, after using them several months ago, I would not call them again. They did the work, but 10 minutes after they left there was no hot water coming from the faucet they replaced. I called the same day asking them to come back and fix it and they did so the next day. The plumber that fixed it then accused us of ""messing with"" the valve under the sink which we DID NOT do. His attitude was like the problem was our fault and he was clearly annoyed that he had to come back again. He actually put on the work ticket that it was customer error. His attitude alone has made my decision to never do business with them again. They should be glad they have any customers at all.

I had a drain blockage that was more than 50 feet in. Downing Plumbing (Ray) responded the day I posted on Angies (early am) and came out the same day. They were able to dislodge the block - but were unable to retrieve their drain cable - apparently it is caught in the house drain backup preventer. Cost for the drain snake process was $385. Had this done 10 years ago for $300, so it seems reasonable. Estimate to replace house drain backup preventer was $4000. I'm currently getting estimates for comparison

Don't use them- go somewhere else. They will rip you off especially if you are a women. They charged me $273.00 to replace 2 Flappers and that was with $25.00 off, They claim its a deal!

They were over an hour late and gave me a ridiculous price of $2000 to instal a heater for my pool. After my husband and I called other places the prices were around $400 or cheaper to instal! This company will rip you off badly! I do not recommend using them.

Downing Plumbing did an excellent job. They worked hard, were courteous and cleaned up after themselves. They even dug a tunnel beneath a huge oak tree so as not to disturb the root system. We would recommend them highly.

Do NOT use this company! The technician came out, did a visual inspection and then wrote an estimate. No tools were used to even verify what was causing the problem. But he 'knew' the problem was $3500. I hope you all put the $69 to good use.

I gave this company 2 stars because they came out the same day. Charged me 69 bucks to give me an 800.00 estimate to have a laundry tub installed. The plumber that came out seemed confused about plumbing and was not clear in his explanations. Then he gave me a sheet of paper about going this company's club which he didn't explain either. I would not use this company for any plumbing needs.

Ridiculously expensive. First, I paid a $69.00 trip charge from Michigan City to Beverly Shores. Then I was charged an additional $118.00 to replace a toilet flapper which costs no more than $5.00 and if it took him 7 minutes at most. What a rip. I told him so and he had a definite attitude. Time's up. Not the kind of company I want to deal with. Additionally, they wear these stupid looking shirts with a huge ""Daffy Duck"" emblem on the back. Classless.
